A birthday is a time to celebrate life and be joyful for the chance to be with friends, family and those who care about us. A birthday can be seen as a serious or joyful time depending on one's age and one's attitude towards life. 

Another year has passed and we look back on failures and successes. We think about our goals for the future and reflect on the past year. These are all thoughts that may came up on a birthday, but the main thing is to use a birthday as an opportunity to celebrate life and be joyful for the chance to be with friends and family.

  7. A Birthday Poem For My Friend

    • By Gordon Duquette
    • Published by Family Friend Poems February 2009 with permission of the Author.

    I wrote this for my friend Kate on her birthday. We've been good friends for the past seven years and she means a lot to me. I don't get to see her much anymore because we've moved away from each other a couple of years ago. But we still stay in touch and she continues to play an important part in my life. This was just my way of telling her how much her friendship means to me.

    in Birthday Poems

    Today must be your birthday because the sun is shinning bright.
    The clouds that are usually hiding it are now nowhere in sight.
    The birds are singing joyfully as they go happily on their way.
    It's as if Mother Nature herself knew this was a very special day.

    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    I created this poem to give myself a small challenge as most of my poems are usually dark and touch on taboo subjects. I wanted to create something beautifully light and to the point, which I feel I have done with this specific poem.

    in Birthday Poems

    The world was blessed with your beauty on this very special day.
    Thank you for being so truly great with the amazing personality you portray.

    Your grace cannot be matched as it's unique in every way.

  13. Happy Birthday, Far Away Friend

    • By Edarly Edouard
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    This poem is about a friend I've spent so much time with ever since we were born. We went to so many places together, but that stopped when her parents had an argument with members in our church. Because of that, we won't be able to see each other anymore. When she left, I had a really hard time living without her, because she was the person I spent most of my time with. I miss her so much, and I know she feels the same way about me, so I dedicate this poem to her.

    in Birthday Poems

    Dear friend, I want to wish you a splendid happy birthday.
    We don't see each other anymore, but I hope everything is okay.
    You're growing to become the intelligent woman I know you can be.
    I'm so fortunate to have a friend like you who's gentle, loving, and sweet.

  14. Love And Hugs

    I began writing poetry in middle age. For about 5 years I lived aboard a yacht in remote areas of Australia, mostly in the Torres Strait. We had intermittent TV and radio signal depending on the anchorage, and I began writing poems for family and friends for special occasions. My poems are generally comic and whimsical in tone and inspired by actual events.

    A homemade cake,
    That special gift,
    A birthday steak.

  15. Special Day

    • By Marie Matheny
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    I wrote this poem 35 years ago to my best friend. Who would've guessed that we would still be as close today as back then? We don't see each other often these days, but when we do, it is as if we just spoke to one another the day before. It may take a few hours to play catch-up, but this friendship has lasted because we still care about each other and what happens in each other's lives. There is a trust and a bond that will forever keep us connected, and I know that she feels the same.

    Your special day,

    • By Georgina Devlin
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    My poem is one that celebrates a milestone birthday of a very dear friend who does not like to draw attention to himself nor does he like surprises. However, once in the midst of friends and family, he accepted birthday wishes and enjoyed the personal attention.

    in Birthday Poems

    Birthdays come and birthdays go,
    And some mean more than most,
    But you, my friend, dread all of them
    And never wish to boast.

  18. Her Birthday

    • By Neha Meharde
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    I wrote this poem for my best friend on her birthday (2-12-2018). She also writes poems, and this time around I decided to present an intangible, memorable gift. She later stated that nothing could have been a better birthday gift than a poem written and dedicated by me to her and our friendship of around ten long years. She then went on to post it on her Instagram handle as it touched her heart.

    in Birthday Poems

    It's your birthday and I sit down to write,
    Reminiscing those times so bright.
    We've been together through thick and thin.
    We've lived through the hurdles to win.

    I once missed my cousin Julie's birthday. It wasn't until the last minute I remembered, but the only card I had didn't have a verse, so I had to write my own. She loved it.

    in Birthday Poems

    I'm so sorry I missed your birthday.
    A special day, I know it's true.
    But birthdays are only here one day,
    And I love you the whole year through.
